Hysterics by Orikinla(m): 11:48pm On Mar 04, 2007
Three nuns and one monk were returning from a mission and were caught in a terrible stormy weather in an area that had only one house and the house was a brothel. So, they ran to the front of the brothel and when they wanted to go in, they saw customers and prostitutes engaged in wild erotic revelry and were feeling embarrrassed to witness such repulsive debauchery. So, the nuns decided stay on the porch and bear the earth shaking thunder claps and terrifying lightning flashes. But the frightened monk who was terrified by the rumbling thunder claps went in.

As they saw the monk, the customers and prostitutes turned their attention to him and he became their object of derision. They mocked that the prostitutes should keep him warm so that he wouldn't fall ill from cold as he was quite drenched.

The monk removed his wet cloak and sat down shivering by the fireplace.
Then, a young woman looking dishriveled from her long tousled red hair to her torn and worn long gown came down the staircase. Some regarded her with disdain and others with empathy or indifference.

Then she noticed the monk and went to him.
Suddenly she screamed at him that he was the one who broke her heart and left her in lurch some years ago.
The monk was startled and was gasping and gaping at her whilst others laughed or were amazed.
The mistress of the brothel came to stand in-between her and the monk.
She apologized to the monk and said the young woman was sick and was often having such erroneous hallucinations. But, she even became more incensed and attacked the monk and before the mistress or anyone could hold her back, she had torn his cowl.

N.B:
This summary is from the first chapter of my novelette Hysterics on how a man of God in fear of the storms of life can run into temptations and sins and also face the trials of those in need of deliverance and redemption. And could be disgraced if he failed to overcome the challenges of his missionary work in a dangerous world.
The second part showed the monk as a psychiatrist in a mental home and the sick woman was his patient who had become deranged after rape. He took her home and rehabilitated her by the restoration of her dignity and sense of belonging.
